Miss Little Havana
Gloria Estefan · Miss Little Havana [2011]
Open up your eyes
Abre los ojos
[x3]
Open up your eyes
Miss Little Havana
17 with a body just like a model
I heard that she was in that superstar cabana
Dancin' as if she just hit the lotto
But that will amount to zero
So
It is just the same scenario
Mom's at work and daddy's never home
Idle hands lookin' for time to blow
And get some freedom
She ain't payin' attention
Her mind's in the air
Life is so hard
And no one cares
There ain't no angels to whisk you away
So wisen up, ok
Miss Little Havana
17 with a body just like a model
I heard that she was in that superstar cabana
Dancin' as if she just hit the lotto
But that will amount to zero
Dos
She's beginning her life on her own
Brand new place but she don't have a phone
Matter of fact the only thing she owns
Is her freedom
She ain't payin' attention
Her mind's in the air
Life is so hard
And no one cares
There ain't no angels to whisk you away
So wisen up, ok
Miss Little Havana
17 with a body just like a model
I heard that she was in that superstar cabana
Dancin' as if she just hit the lotto
But that will amount to zero
If he says it's a secret, c'mon let's fly away
Girl, don't believe it, those guys tell lies all day
He'll never keep it, he will tell everything
Everyone will know
Uh-oh no lotto
Open up your eyes
Abre los ojos
[x3]
Open up your eyes
Miss Little Havana
17 with a body just like a model
I heard that she was in that superstar cabana
Dancin' as if she just hit the lotto
But that will amount to zero
But that will amount to zero
But that will amount to zero
But that will amount to zero
But that will amount to zero
